1. Make sure that the sensor is not
in Manual Override Mode. Turn
power OFF for 10 seconds, then
ON Sensor will be in Test Mode for
approximately 5 minutes, then it will
switch to Auto Mode with lights off
and ready to detect movement.

2. Make sure sensor is not aimed at
or mounted over something that
would move or change temperature
such as waving branches, water, air
conditioners, windows or heating
vents—even on neighboring proper-
ty. You can test for infrared sources
in the area by placing a box or bag
over the sensor. Put sensor into test
mode. Lights should stay off. Wave
your hand inside bag in front of sen-
sor. Lights should go on and then
time out. If sensor operates properly
when covered, check items #4–7.

�� Sensor is triggered by
unwanted movement or heat source.

�� (1) Aim sensor away from
movement or (2) mask lens as in
the direction of the source and/or
(3) lower sensitivity control setting.

3. Make sure sensor and lights are
mounted firmly and do not move
even slightly when touched. If they
move, tighten all screws.

4. Make sure sensor is not mounted
on an unstable object such as a tree
or pole that will move in the wind.

��

Mount on stable surface.

5. Was sensor wired hot? If so,

6. Make sure sensor is not aimed
within 20 feet of a road.

��
Passing cars activate sensor.

�� A 20 foot safety zone and
lower sensitivity are recommended to
avoid activation from passing cars.

7. Make sure heat from lights is
not triggering sensor. Make sure
the sensor is below and as far as
possible away from lights.

1. Make sure the sensor is installed
on its own dedicated circuit, free of
motor loads such as HVAC equip-
ment, kitchen appliances or garage
door openers.

2. It is not recommended to wire
sensors in parallel. More than one
sensor wired together makes them
difficult to troubleshoot. Disconnect
multiple sensors and test separately.

3. Keep all people completely out of
the detection pattern to make sure
the sensor is not detecting them.

4. Make sure sensor is located
below and as far as possible from
its lights. Heat from the lights may
trigger the sensor.

Solution: Move sensor below and
away from the lights.

5. Moths can be attracted to the
lights and fly close to the sensor
causing triggering. Reducing the
sensitivity may help.

6. Make sure sensor is not aimed
within 20 feet of a road or sidewalk.
Passing cars will activate sensor.

Solution:
A 20 foot safety zone and reduced
sensitivity are recommended to
avoid activation from passing cars.

7. Heavy rain, snow or high winds
may activate the sensor occasional-
ly. Reduce sensitivity control slightly
until problem stops.

8. Make sure lights are not reflect-
ing back into sensor. Check for
white or reflective surfaces close to
the sensor.

Solution: Aim sensor away from
reflective objects, or move the
objects and lower sensitivity.

9. Self ballasted PL lamps may
cause cycling (on-off).

Conseils techniques :

L’éclairage ne s’éteint pas

1. S’assurer que le détecteur n’est pas en

mode Contournement manuel. Couper

le courant pendant 10 secondes, puis

le rétablir pour passer en mode test

pendant environ 5 minutes, puis en mode

automatique avec luminaires éteints et

prêts à détecter le mouvement.

2. S’assurer que le détecteur n’est pas fixé

à ou dirigé vers un objet qui peut bouger

ou changer de température, comme

des branches au vent, de l’eau, des

climatiseurs, des fenêtres ou des bouches

de chauffage - même sur une propriété

avoisinante. On peut tester les sources

infrarouges dans la zone en plaçant une

boîte ou un sac sur le détecteur. Mettre

le détecteur en mode test Les lumières

devraient rester éteintes. Remuer la main à

l’intérieur du sac devant le détecteur.

Les luminaires devraient s’allumer, puis

s’éteindre après le délai prévu. Si le

détecteur fonctionne correctement lorsqu’il

est recouvert, vérifier les points 4 à 7.

Problème :

Le détecteur est déclenché par

un mouvement parasite ou une source de

chaleur .

Solution:

(1) Diriger le détecteur loin du

mouvement ou (2) masquer la lentille dans

la direction de la source et/ou (3) baisser le

réglage de la commande de sensibilité.

trigger the sensor.

Solution: Move sensor below and
away from the lights.

5. Moths can be attracted to the
lights and fly close to the sensor
causing triggering. Reducing the
sensitivity may help.

6. Make sure sensor is not aimed
within 20 feet of a road or sidewalk.
Passing cars will activate sensor.

Solution:
A 20 foot safety zone and reduced
sensitivity are recommended to
avoid activation from passing cars.

7. Heavy rain, snow or high winds
may activate the sensor occasional-
ly. Reduce sensitivity control slightly
until problem stops.

8. Make sure lights are not reflect-
ing back into sensor. Check for
white or reflective surfaces close to
the sensor.

Solution: Aim sensor away from
reflective objects, or move the
objects and lower sensitivity.

9. Self ballasted PL lamps may
cause cycling (on-off).

10. Check Solutions #2, 4, 5, 6, and
7 under “If Lights Do Not Turn Off”.

Solution :

On recommande une zone de sécurité de

20 pieds et de réduire la sensibilité pour

éviter que les voitures ne déclenchent le

détecteur.

�� Sensor is triggered by
unwanted movement or heat source.

�� (1) Aim sensor away from
movement or (2) mask lens as in
the direction of the source and/or
(3) lower sensitivity control setting.

3. Make sure sensor and lights are
mounted firmly and do not move
even slightly when touched. If they
move, tighten all screws.

4. Make sure sensor is not mounted
on an unstable object such as a tree
or pole that will move in the wind.

��

Movement of tree triggers sensor.

��

Mount on stable surface.

5. Was sensor wired hot? If so,
circuitry may have been damaged.

6. Make sure sensor is not aimed
within 20 feet of a road.

��
Passing cars activate sensor.

�� A 20 foot safety zone and
lower sensitivity are recommended to
avoid activation from passing cars.

7. Make sure heat from lights is
not triggering sensor. Make sure
the sensor is below and as far as
possible away from lights.

1. Make sure the sensor is installed
on its own dedicated circuit, free of
motor loads such as HVAC equip-
ment, kitchen appliances or garage
door openers.

2. It is not recommended to wire
sensors in parallel. More than one
sensor wired together makes them
difficult to troubleshoot. Disconnect
multiple sensors and test separately.

3. Keep all people completely out of
the detection pattern to make sure
the sensor is not detecting them.

4. Make sure sensor is located
below and as far as possible from
its lights. Heat from the lights may
trigger the sensor.

Solution: Move sensor below and
away from the lights.

5. Moths can be attracted to the
lights and fly close to the sensor
causing triggering. Reducing the
sensitivity may help.

ing back into sensor. Check for

7. La forte pluie, la neige ou les forts vents

peuvent parfois déclencher le détecteur.

Baisser légèrement la commande de

sensibilité jusqu’à ce que le problème soit

corrigé.

8. S’assurer que les lampes ne

réfléchissent pas la lumière dans le

détecteur. Vérifier la présence de surfaces

blanches ou réfléchissantes près du

détecteur.

Solution : Diriger le détecteur ailleurs que

sur des objets réfléchissants ou déplacer

les objets et réduire la sensibilité.

9. Les lampes PL équipées d’un ballast

peuvent produire un état de répétition

(marche-arrêt).

10. Vérifier les solutions 2, 4, 5, 6 et 7 sous

“Si les luminaires ne s’éteignent pas”.
